How to transfer your whole Windows install from old HDD to new SDD or HDD

This only works if you have changed no other hardware BUT the HDD or SSD


Put ur new HDD or SSD in comp.


then do this....


First, get these two programs...they will work on any windows version.

Easeus Partition Master: http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm ...alt link: http://tinyurl.com/6g3gs8
Macrium Reflect: http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.asp ...alt link: http://tinyurl.com/3zphz46


1. Install both of these programs, on ur OLD HDD
2. Use Easeus or [diskmgmt.msc] to "resize" (shrink) your system partition, to the smallest size you can.
3. Then with the remaining space, create another primary partition. On your OLD HDD
4. Run all your cleaners, scans, reg cleaners...etc, then run disk defragmenter a few times...till it won't defrag any more, on your OLD HDD
5. Now use Macrium Reflect to create a FULL Image backup of your system partition and save it on the 2nd partition on your OLD HDD
6. Again use Macrium Reflect to restore the backup you just made...on your NEW HDD od SSD.

Windows XP had 4 updates and +1 update for Malicious Software Removal Tool

How to Install Windows on a new computer from a Windows .iso Image File

Preparation:

1. Save the Windows Image File to your desktop.
2. Get IMGBurn here: http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download ...from the Mirror #7, install IMGBurn.
3. Put a DVD in the optical drive and run IMGBurn ...choose the option: "Write Image File to Disc", and browse to the Windows .iso Image that you saved to your desktop.
4. Set the burn speed to 2x or at the most 4x...any faster and you run the risk of corrupting the Windows files.
5. After you have created the bootable Windows DVD, place it in the optical drive of the new computer you wish to install Windows on.
6. Either through the BIOS or the Boot Menu, set the new computer to boot from the Optical Drive.
7. At top left of your screen watch for a message: "Press any key to boot from CD.......", and hit ...any key (like g or h or something safe)...if the installer wants to reboot, let it.
8. DO NOT "hit any key" again as this will start the install process over again, which we do NOT want.

Install stuff in this order:

Unhook Internet
Install Windows
Install motherboard drivers
Install vid card drivers
Install sound drivers

Rehook Internet
Install Windows updates
Install Security programs
Install utilities like CCleaner, 7Zip, IMGBurn
Install w/e other games or programs you want.


Notes:

Windows XP can no longer receive Windows Updates, unless you have Service Pack 3 installed.

ALWAYS install the Motherboard CD drivers and the Video Card drivers (or pre-downloaded drivers), before doing Windows Updates.

It's always better to do is download all necessary drivers, for motherboard and Vid card(s), Antivirus and Malware software, and save them to a USB Flash Drive or CD. This is so you do NOT have to go on the internet, before your computer is protected.
